Sourav DuttaProduct Manager – People Portfolio and StrategyClifford Chance Business Services

Honored to be recognized among India’s Top10 Inspiring Tech Leaders by Corporate Trendz magazine. Happy to share my recent interview with them in the post below. Leadership, to me, has always been about clarity in uncertainty, belief when challenges feel overwhelming, and the courage to keep building even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to learn from mentors who pushed me to grow, work alongside peers who challenged convention, and lead teams who inspire me every single day. My journey at Informatica has been a big part of this - a place where I’ve had the opportunity to help organizations unlock the power of their data and collaborate with partners transforming how businesses operate. Thanks to the team at Corporate TrendZ for this recognition. While this honor is deeply personal, it’s also a reminder that leadership is never a solo journey. It’s shaped by the people you learn from, grow with, and build alongside. I am incredibly grateful to all the amazing leaders, partners, colleagues, and especially my team/s - it’s been a privilege working with you all. I’m excited for what’s ahead and deeply thankful to everyone who’s been part of this journey so far.

Anil DatarVice President, Global Partner Technical SalesInformatica

Manish SrivastavaHead of Brand & GrowthSahi

We are delighted to share that our Founder Partner, Mr. Sameer Sagar, has been featured among Corporate TrendZ’s “10 Most Inspiring Legal Leaders in India 2026.”

The feature traces his journey from working with established law firms to building Evara Legal, reflecting on the experiences, lessons and values that have shaped his approach to the legal profession.

It also offers an insight into the philosophy shared by our Founder Partners, Mr. Sagar and Ms. M. –“partner-led attention, actionable advice, responsiveness, and full-service corporate capability”, which are the principles that shape the way we approach our work at Evara Legal.

Speaking about the importance of learning the craft and building a strong foundation, Mr. Sagar aptly observes, “Ambition without … foundation will not survive a difficult mandate”. This thought highlights the importance of experience, discipline and a strong foundation in handling complex mandates and building lasting relationships.

Grateful to be featured by the Corporate TrendZ and to share my journey from QA to Director of Product Management 🚀 What started as a role focused on quality evolved into a journey of building products, leading teams, and driving meaningful user experiences. Along the way, I’ve learned that great products are not just built with technology—they are shaped by ownership, empathy, and a clear vision 🎯 Every step—from understanding the smallest user pain point to making strategic product decisions—has contributed to who I am today as a product leader. This journey has been about continuous learning, resilience, and staying committed to delivering value that truly matters 💡 Thank you once again for the opportunity to reflect on this journey and share my story.

Geeta RawatDirector- Product ManagementStaynfly

Thankful to Corporate TrendZ Asia for featuring me in their 10 Most Inspiring Women Leaders in Asia 2026 series.

Growth is rarely linear. While we talk about women making space for themselves at the top, the day-to-day reality often involves navigating friction, micro-aggressions, and having to repeatedly stand up for your work.

My message to fellow women professionals isn't about being "inspirational"—it's practical:

If you are true to your work and standard, hold your ground. People will project their egos or feel threatened when you step into your strength. Let them. That resistance is usually the clearest confirmation that you are winning and making a real mark.

Keep pushing forward and building your own space.

Deepa AroraSenior DirectorFormidium

🏆 A Proud Moment: One of Asia’s Most Inspiring HR Leaders

I’m incredibly happy to share that I’ve been named one of 🥰 10 Most Inspiring HR Leaders in Asia 2026 🥰 by Corporate TrendZ Asia

In a world shaped by uncertainty…

By rapid technological shifts like AI…

By moments that challenge not just businesses, but humanity itself…

The role of HR has never mattered more.

Not just within our organizations.

But across the communities we are part of.

Because at the core of everything we do…

We exist to serve people. ❤️

This recognition isn’t mine alone.

It belongs to the incredible teams I’ve had the privilege to work alongside over the years.

The ones who challenge thinking, push boundaries, and turn bold ideas into reality.

You are the reason I get to lead with passion.

You are the reason “impossible” becomes possible.

Grateful. Humbled. And just getting started.

Steven Huy TranDirector of Talent Management & DevelopmentTechcombank

"The half-life of strategy is shrinking." In a world where AI, business models, and competitive dynamics evolve faster than ever, recognition is not a signal to pause. It is a reminder to keep learning. I am honoured to be recognised among the 10 Most Inspiring Strategy Leaders in India 2026 by Corporate Trendz. Throughout my journey, from IIT Kharagpur and ESCP Business School Europe, to roles spanning private equity, enterprise strategy, growth transformation, and AI-driven business innovation, one lesson has remained constant: Strategy is not about predicting the future. It is about building the agility to adapt, the courage to act, and the discipline to transform vision into measurable impact. I remain grateful to my colleagues, mentors, clients, and teams at Genpact who continue to inspire me every day. Thank you for being part of the journey. The recognition is deeply appreciated, but the mission remains unchanged: helping organisations bridge the gap between ambition and execution, and between AI adoption and integration at scale For those interested in reading the full feature and conversation.

Dr. Maruti KhairePresident - R&D [CTO]Advik Hi-Tech

In an AI-led world, the winning sales strategy isn't the smartest plan. It's the one that gets smarter. I was asked this in a recent conversation with Corporate Trendz, how should organisations rethink sales strategy to stay flexible and consistently effective? My answer was simple: stop writing strategy as a once-a-year document. Most plans fail the same way most AI agents fail. Not because the thinking is weak, but because they're fed by connectors - data pulled fresh every time, disconnected from how the business actually runs. You get a number. You don't get a decision. Grateful to Corporate Trendz for the conversation, and for including me among the 10 Most Inspiring Strategy Leaders in India 2026.

Priyanka GuptaDirector, Sales Strategy, Business Planning & OperationsMicrosoft

We are here to help the business get the job done with discipline, integrity, and purpose, while making work easier for people to collaborate, contribute, and succeed. When we remove barriers, simplify processes, and enable better decisions, we create an environment where both people and business can thrive.

This recognition strengthens my commitment to continue learning, leading with accountability, and creating meaningful impact for the organizations and people I have the privilege to serve.

I am also pleased to share my feature in Corporate TrendZ Asia, where I discuss my leadership philosophy, my journey in HR, and my perspective on building high-performing organizations through people and purpose.

I’m deeply honoured and grateful to be recognized among the “10 Most Aspiring Women Leaders in India 2026.” Moments like these make you pause and reflect, not just on achievements, but on the journey, the challenges, and the many people who’ve shaped your path along the way. My career has been a continuous learning experience, navigating complexity, making decisions in uncertain situations, and growing through every opportunity and setback. One belief that has consistently guided me is: every problem has a solution, and when it doesn’t, it becomes a situation to be managed effectively. That mindset has helped me stay grounded and focused, even in high-stakes environments.
